A man may have discovered the site of an ancient asteroid impact after he spotted a “suspicious pit” while browsing Google Maps ahead of a camping trip.
As he looked through satellite images for his camping trip on Google Maps, Lapointe stumbled across a mysterious, spherical pit that was approximately 9.3 miles across surrounding Marsal Lake in Quebec.After seeing this strange spherical feature on Google Maps, Lapointe decided to contact professional researchers, including geophysicist Pierre Rochette of the Centre de recherche en géosciences de l’environnement in Aix-en-Provence, France, to help identify it.
Even though the evidence hinted that the crater was created by an ancient space rock, experts have suggested that it is better to wait for the results of all the tests before reaching a final verdict.
